AuthorTopic: Doc Apocalypse (Read 718 times)

Help! I've just started playing the latest version of the game but can't get out of the bunker. I've got the key but when I try to use it I need some auxillary power for the door to open (or something like that!). I've examined & tried to use everything in the 'room' - what am I missing please?

EDIT After spending a lot of time stuck I found what I needed right after posting here! But, I'm finding it difficult to try

& get the charge higher that 75%

- is there any other way of doing is other than bashing on the mouse button?

Ugh I wish I could help but it's years since I played the game and I haven't got round to the voiced version yet. If I start playing soon and get to this point I'll see if you still need help (but you will have probably completed it by then!).

Thank you arj0n! I just needed the prompt to use the transistor on Doc - I never think to try using stuff on the protagonist!

been through the vent & got the disc from the strange object & given it to Beth who's got a 'key' from it. After that I've come to a standstill not being able to progress beyond the corridor, lab & place where the time machine is.

Thanks again arj0n for your reply - it's very much appreciated! Something's not working out for me here or I'm doing the wrong thing? I don't seem to be able to look at the drawing to see those columns? Where is the strange structure? - is there an area I've missed? I'm completely lost?

Where is the strange structure? - is there an area I've missed? I'm completely lost?

The strange structure is that strange machine, left of the screen in the room which entrance was blocked with laserbeams.And no, you're not completely lost, just stuck, a little bit

So below is the part that probably contains something you might have missed.This point starts when you arrive in Area 51.

WT Part 2:

Laserdoor:

Ugh I can't seem to find whatever it is that triggers Lewis being willing to enter the house with Butch and his mother. I've spoken to Grimes, looked at the photo and the keys, talked to the guy by the bunker about both characters. As I understand it you need to offer to help in return for the truck keys. Inventory-wise I have the can and detergent bottle, and I've found out about the rebels and their leader. Any ideas what I might have missed?

I'm most definitely no expert CaptainD! but did you try

Add spoiler tag for Hidden:

talking to the guy at the Steakhouse?

I'm a bit further along & stuck again - this time at the North Pole!

Add spoiler tag for Hidden:

I've spoken to Bishop, used the elevator & created a beam of light by using a crystal skull on the floor calendar. Back in the pub I'm suspecting I need to get behind the counter possibly to get the generator door key? I've managed to get Reggie to clear up a knocked-over vase but Doc won't search with the Colonel there

I assume this is related to hearing "Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewis" at the church? We've kept wondering about this, but Lewis won't go inside. Will hunt around, we must have missed something... thanks!
